Chapter 116: Self-Sealing Circular Meditation
This guy can actually directly modify the range of the barrier!
The sense of shock and fear surged through Mahito’s mind as his flight space was greatly compressed.
If it were to continue in the sky, he would only become a target for that girl.
His wings reverted back into arms, and as Mahito fell from the air, Yukinoshita Yukino and two others surrounded him.
Among these three, two could inflict damage on his soul. Itadori Yuuji’s physical prowess was well-known. The girl’s technique attacks couldn’t be easily followed, making them difficult to dodge. Yoshino Junpei may not have much combat ability, but his constant harassment could be bothersome too.
And more troubling yet…
Mahito looked up and saw a black-haired young man sitting on the eaves overlooking him.
There was another formidable opponent like a monster.
It was undoubtedly a scene of despair.
However, even in this situation, Mahito’s face bore that seemingly crazed smile.
This tension, this fear, this despair!
He laughed hysterically as he suddenly bent over, rolling his eyes to vomit chunks of disgusting corpse flesh out of his mouth. He threw the chunks towards Itadori Yuuji before rushing towards Yoshino Junpei.
Itadori Yuuji tried to stop him, but the chunks Mahito threw expanded and twisted mid-air into several grotesque cyborgs.
The cyborgs roared and rushed towards the pink-haired boy who was instantly thrown into chaos.
Mahito, observing the battlefield through the corner of his eye, revealed a satisfied smile.
Just as he predicted. Itadori Yuuji could not attack humans. By using the cyborgs to stall him and then quickly eliminating the weakest link, Yoshino Junpei, in the shortest time possible, the one watching from above would not have the chance to use a counter-measure… No, he could do better!
In such dire straits, slaughter seemed to come naturally to Mahito. The pleasure of his improvement shone radiantly in his mad grin.
“Form dedicated solely to the act of killing!”
With a transformation, his right hand turned into a chainsaw composed of sharp blades, whipping it toward Yoshino Junpei.
Yoshino hurriedly enveloped himself with a jelly-like familiar deity for defense while retreating.
Though the jelly was effective against blunt attacks, it had no defense against the unyielding sharpness of the chainsaw. The gleaming blades cut through the familiar effortlessly, leaving gashes on his body.
An invisible strike came flying from afar, piercing deep into Mahito’s right shoulder. His attack rhythm paused momentarily due to Yukinoshita Yukino’s support, and Yoshino Junpei seized this time to retreat despite the pain.
A moment later, a huge impact transmitted through the jelly, sending both Yoshino Junpei and his familiar flying into the wall beside a house.
Having kicked Yoshino Junpei away with his familiar, Mahito instantly spun around and launched the chainsaw at the black-haired girl, Yukinoshita Yukino.
Faced with the frantic chainsaw, she could only momentarily evade and retreat, the saw leaving deep grooves in the ground and scattering debris everywhere.
This was merely a feint. After changing his hand back, he chased Yoshino Junpei again. Pressing his left hand against the dazed boy’s face, he drove them both through a wall and into the house.
“Non-action transformation…”
Before he could complete the ritual, his grip on Yoshino Junpei’s wrist snapped, “Finally, you decided to intervene!”
He abruptly turned around, unleashing his left-handed chainsaw toward the unexpected appearance of Lin Qi. At the same time, he charged at him.
By using the cyborgs to delay Itadori Yuuji and launching a fierce assault on Yoshino Junpei, the buildings would obstruct the view from above, making anyone who wished to save Yoshino Junpei must first approach him.
All of this was preparation for striking the unsuspecting Lin Qi.
Mahito was determined to succeed.
By sacrificing accuracy, he was able to cover a vast area. Lin Qi had nowhere to evade; he just needed to touch Mahito’s body to end it all.
“Fascinating idea.”
Praise from an unexpected voice pierced Mahito’s ears. His eyes widened as he instinctively turned to look behind.
Lin Qi crouched down to treat Yoshino Junpei’s wounds.
When did…?
Pfft!
The sound of flesh being sliced echoed as blood blossomed across Mahito’s body. The extended left hand used for the chainsaw attack was severed in the same manner. Invisible strikes continued to land on him.
No chance to create a diversion.
Ah…
This cold, desolate feeling, so fresh and invigorating.
Is this what it feels like… to die?
Should I be capable of this now?
“Junpei!”
The front door was smashed open by force, and Itadori Yuuji and Yukinoshita Yukino burst in, immediately witnessing the continued assaults on Mahito. Originally worried about Yoshino Junpei’s safety, Itadori Yuuji now felt his concern replaced by shock.
This is Lin Qi’s strength?
Without any visible movement, Lin Qi stood still. Still, the vicious wounds on Mahito kept increasing. Flesh was split open, revealing grisly bones. Then the bones were severed, blood spouting like fountains.
But within that destructive onslaught, Mahito’s mouth opened wide. His little hands formed seals inside: “Domain activation·Self-sealing circular meditation.”
Black palms suddenly emerged beneath Mahito, spreading outward like black lotuses, covering everyone in the vicinity.
“This… A domain activation!?”
As someone who had once witnessed Lin Qi and Satoru Gojo’s domain battle, Yukinoshita Yukino naturally felt a slight panic as the giant black palms approached her.
Until her sight was filled with a familiar silhouette.
